March for Life – Virtual ONLY – Please stay home!
The annual rally will take place virtually and we are asking all participants to stay home and to join the March virtually.
STATEMENT ON 2021 MARCH FOR LIFE
Category: Press Releases
By: Ann Clare Levy
Posted on:
The protection of all of those who participate in the annual March, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event, is a top priority of the March for Life. In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol, this year’s March for Life will look different.
The annual rally will take place virtually and we are asking all participants to stay home and to join the March virtually. We will invite a small group of pro-life leaders from across the country to march in Washington, DC this year. These leaders will represent pro-life Americans everywhere who, each in their own unique ways, work to make abortion unthinkable and build a culture where every human life is valued and protected.
We are profoundly grateful for the countless women, men, and families who sacrifice to come out in such great numbers each year as a witness for life – and we look forward to being together in person next year. As for this year’s march, we look forward to being with you virtually.
You are invited to a virtual “Capitol Hill 101” event on January 28th!
In the days leading up to the March for Life, the March for Life Education and Defense Fund organization in Washington, DC does their best to educate and equip pro-life Americans on important topics so that they can use their voice effectively in defense of the unborn all-year-long.
Their Capitol Hill 101 event aims to inform and encourage everyday constituents to be actively contacting our lawmakers about pro-life issues. This year, Capitol Hill 101 is going virtual!
The experts joining us for this event will give you concrete steps to take in order to make a difference in the legislative process.
They are going to host three separate virtual showings for our Marchers to attend. Virtual seats are limited, so make sure to register for FREE now!
- Rachel Bovard, Senior Director of Policy, Conservative Partnership Institute
- U.S. Representative Jim Banks,Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District
- Tom McClusky, VP of Governmental Affairs, March for Life
- Jamie Dangers, Legislative Director, Susan B. Anthony List
Everyone’s plans look a bit different this year, which is why they have made this event available to attend virtually at three separate times on January 28th: 9am ET, 12 noon ET, and 5pm ET.
As we face what is certain to be an onslaught of anti-life legislation, it is more important than ever to be ready to speak out against abortion expansion.
Sign up for Virtual Capitol Hill 101 now!

TOGETHER STRONG: LIFE UNITES
In the early Fall, on September 10th, we announced the theme of the 2021 March for Life, “Together Strong: Life Unites,” by bringing together 30 of the most prominent pro-life voices for a virtual theme debut webinar.
While abortion divides in so many ways, LIFE is the ultimate unifier. The pro-life movement is a diverse, dedicated, and multi-talented community. When we all work together in defense of the unborn, we will see a culture of life and love welcomed in our nation and world.
If you were not able to join us, you can still watch the event here!

Sadly, NO Rockland RTL Bus this Year going to Washington, DC
| The MARCH FOR LIFE will actually be happening in Washington. DC on January 29th, 2021. Correspondence from Joanne Mancini, President / March for Life … Planning for the March this year has looked a little different: we will have an aggressive pro-abortion administration in the White House. There is need for added safety measures. We are increasing our virtual presence so that all may attend the march, even while watching their TV or phone. With your help, we will enable Marchers around the country to make their voice heard – in person or from a distance. We are confident that with your help this year’s March for Life will be the most powerful yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Due to the restrictions we face regarding the COVID virus and the impact it could have upon our “for LIFE” supporters – the Rockland County RTL Committee, Inc. will not be organizing any transportation to attend the March in Washington, DC this year, 2021. Please note, it was not an easy decision; nor was it made lightly. We have however decided to gather in prayer on our own turf. – in our own homes – in our own special way – We invite you and your families to join us to be spiritually supportive … of & to our mission … to protect the life of the unborn & all Life! PLEASE “Bow your heads in Prayer” with us on January 29th, 2021 at NOON … and … Let the power of our prayers – be heard throughout Heaven – as we support this mission! We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen. Note: We will post on this website info regarding links to coverage for TV & phone – as it becomes available to us. |

World Day of Peace is January 1 along with the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God
A Cry of Peace
A Prayer for the World Day of Peace
Father of Jesus
You who sent your angels to herald your Son’s coming with cries of
peace,
Hear our cry now
That your peace may touch all corners of our world.
Peace to the smallest child, still in the womb.
Peace to the most vulnerable of our elderly, who long to see your face.
Peace to the migrant fleeing war, persecution, hunger and poverty.
Peace to the citizens of those nations to which migrants flee.
Peace to the those touched by violence and disaster,
By storms and quakes and droughts and floods,
Who struggle to find safety and mercy in the very world you made for us.
You whose Son called all peacemakers blessed,
Help us forge peace in your name.
Peace among nations.
Peace among neighbors.
Peace among families.
When we look back on this time
May we recall it as the time we all heard the angels’ cry
And worked together to reveal that peace to all.
A peace worthy of God, born into the world.
Amen.
